I've been reflecting more on some of the things that I wrote about yesterday, and decided to write a little bit more here.

Yesterday's thoughts dealt with not letting others get you down just because your idea of "fun" is different from theirs.

Today I'm writing about ( why it's not always a good thing to be proud to be a freak. )

I apologize if this rambling doesn't make much sense, but I have these thoughts in my head that I think I want to communicate and so I am trying to get them out.
